What “Built to Last” Really Means

When we say built to last, we mean more than a slogan; it’s a measurable commitment to engineering precision, material integrity, and long-term performance. Every railing system we install in Vancouver and the Fraser Valley is designed to maintain its structure, clarity, and strength well beyond industry averages.

Materials

Materials & Engineering That Deliver Longevity

We select only premium-grade materials tested for BC’s coastal environment:

Aluminum framing

Non-rusting, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant.

Laminated glass

Edge-sealed clarity protection and superior safety.

Custom anchoring systems

Prevent water intrusion and extend structural life.

Stainless hardware

Marine-grade fasteners resist salt spray and discolouration.

Tenmar Advantage

The result is a railing that maintains its clarity, strength, and precision curve for decades; even in high-moisture coastal zones.

Climate

Why Coastal BC Demands Better

The Vancouver and Fraser Valley region presents some of the harshest conditions for exterior construction. Constant rain, salt-laden air, and freeze–thaw cycles accelerate wear on typical railings.

Tenmar systems are engineered specifically for coastal durability, featuring:

Benefits

Cost of Ownership: The 20-Year Advantage

Tenmar’s glass and metal railings are built to last 20+ years with minimal upkeep, offering lasting beauty and better long-term value.
